I have lost SU permissions for the Root Explorer program. Now it just tells me it can't get root access and to restart the app, and continues to do so. It will not give me the popup to grant permission.
I had it working just fine.
Any ideas?
Go into the superuser app and click root explorer then forget and then open the app and youll have a popup
Already tried that and the popup does not come back.
Uninstall and reinstall root explorer?

Hi,
i have Rooted my desire using standard unrevoked 321,
confirmed working in adbshell.
Installed superuser and Root explorer
Granted Root explorer rights in superuser
Went in to the root explorer.
Went to my desired location to delete in this case ringtone files to clear valuable space. System/media/ blabla
enabled r/w and deleted the files i wanted.
Now i come to the point that when i either press back and disable r/w or just exit the explorer in all my desire resets and the ringtones are back in place.
It seems that i dont get full control even though i have this confirmed using the Su and id command in sdb shell
Any clearafication would be much apreciated.
Regards

You need to have S-OFF in order to delete those files that come with the phone.
Check this http://alpharev.shadowchild.nl/ and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794314
Once you do this it should not be a problem at all to perform what you want to.
And the alpharev method is reliable and fast
clearing files in any /system/ directory wont give you any space anyway!!! only files in the /data/ directories will
You might also like to try cache for root users. It deletes all cache files
Thans for that. Im going to tinker around with these options

How would I go about deleting some of the preinstalled apps in cm7? I read to download titanium backup and do it with that. When I did it using that app, nothing was uninstalled even though it said it was.
There are a few ways. You can do it through a paid app called System App Remover, adb or you can delete the apk's from the zip archive before you flash it. I do a combo between the first and third way. Just to point out, you need to be s-off to do out through the app.

I just delete .apk files from /system using root explorer.
S-off needed for this method.

I have S-off but in my file explorer when I go to syste/app and try to delete those apk files it says that it can't. The titanium uninstall which I did after getting S-OFF, done by some recovery exploit also does not work.

Enabled root explorer option in your explorer? Which explorer do you use?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
And have you got /system mounted r/w, not r/o?
use the latest "root explorer" from the market and make sure superuser allows it
when u open root explorer press the "mount r/w" button at the top to have write access

Although root explorer is well enough to pay money for it, there is a good free alternative called "file explorer". But you have to mount as r/w, too.

Thank you all. If it wasn't for you all I'd be following instructions and not know to mount r/w.
You can use Root_uninstaller_pro_v1.13.apk and uninstall the system application you don't use. I use this app and have no problem.

Direct in the programm you use. To name two examples:
1.) In root explorer you have an extra single button at the top
2.) In file explorer: menu>more>settings>file explorer settings>check root explorer option (and enter superuser request). Go back to root of your sd card. Now menu>more>mount>mount as read write. File explorer should show "access".
In my haste on my freshly rooted Nexus, I used Titanium Backup to uninstall some apps I don't use that I know I can get from the market if I ever wanted them, but I got a bit quick and uninstalled the stock Email app instead of freeze it (in case I ever wanted to use it). I did a factory reset but that doesn't bring it back so my question is, can anyone post the apk and tell me where to put it to get it back? I think the proper location is /system/app, is that correct? Thanks.
Yep, /system/app. There are two APKs with the Email icon: EmailGoogle.apk and ExchangeGoogle.apk. I've attached both as a ZIP.
Thanks a lot!
OK so I'm still a bit new to this. I used root explorer to mount /system/app as r/w and changed the permissions on the EmailGoogle.apk to rwxr--r--. I already have ExchangeGoogle.apk. I have enabled "allow non-market apps" in my settings but I'm still getting "application not installed" when i try to install it. What am I missing? I used the RootToolkit to unlock and root my Galaxy Nexus, but I do have some experience using adb from the past with rooting my Droid. Do I need adb to install this?

You won't be able to install it, just use a root explorer (such as ES File Explorer) to manually copy the file to /system/app, it should then show up as installed.
Ah ok. I did a reboot and it's still not in my app drawer.

I wasn't thinking; you'll need the ODEX as well. I've attached both files, just copy them both into /system/app and let me know if that works.
That did it! Excellent!
So I rooted my SII and flashed the 3.0.7 of superuser and it seems to work fine for titanium backup. However when I installed HexEditor by Tuba and opened it, it does not ask for super user permissions.
Thanks.
Install busybox. Apps on market for hat
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I installed busybox and it still didn't work. I checked if I am rooted properly and I am, other apps that require superuser are working but file managers that need it do not ask for superuser.
I am having the same exact problem..I cant access the /data file in there either because it doesn't ask for superuser access
I know this is a rather obvious solution but.. have you rebooted your phone? Sometimes when I install root apps from the market and open them directly from there it doesn't request super user access until I reboot and open the app again after startup..

didnt work...i wish it did maybe its a glitch in the hex editor app before the newest update when i went to the /data file the only two options it had was back and /data but i couldnt go past the second /data screen and even then it didnt ask for superuser permission, now it shows in the second screen / /.. 'ermission denied and if i go to the settings menu and try to click on Root Permissions it says "can't change shell".
it does work
Start the application and press the Menu button then press Settings and you will see Root permissions mark it and it will show you the Superuser dialog.
It was so easy it made me feel dumb
i have tried that i have also made sure that i was rooted over and over again when i go to hex editor settings i click root permissions it says "can't change shell"
i want to enable softkeys on my note 2, i am running CM11, and when i try to edit the build.prop file with a root explorer it doesnt let me, i need to grant root access to the app, but it doesnt ask for the permission, and i have looked into the superuser app to find an option to grant the permissions myself to the explorer, but i havent seen any option, any help would be appreciated.

Tried ES file explorer? Tried rebooting (actually works sometimes)?
